HELLOTRIBALMEMBERS,

The May tornados caused severe damage and devastation for the communities of Little Axe, Shawnee, Bethel. Moore, and Carney. It was amazing tosee how many people here and out of state came together to help and support all the people affected. Iwas answering phones at the Resource Centerand it was never ending with all the help people were giving. Ihad people that I had talked to come in from out of state with so many donations, andstaying to help out where ever needed. .Asaycia Clayton was great at inventorying everything that was donated, Brad 'Jackson who coordinated the cleanup crews and people who camein to volunteer their services to help, Jackie Denny. Anthony Johnson, Eddie Brokeshoulder. Treasurer Deere, Becky Prewett, Donna Butler, Linda Day,Secretary Reed, ~nd so many others who unconditionally helped to make sure the victims of the tornados got what they needed, were truly a blessing.It was amazing how many people from everywhere were opening their hearts and giving in every area possible. As trucks, trailers, cars, and vans camein people were right there to help get them unloaded.High school-students, college students, families, young people, and even elder people volunteered to help.Igot to work with Lisa Mize from the Oklahoma Defense Force who was just awesome in getting her group out to the people that really needed them.Pastor Tommy was a person Iwas in continual contact with who sent donations and aided to get things here the crews needed such as, gloves.rakes.shovels, tarps, tools, car seats, diapers, you name it. he made sure the things needed got here and even sent people from out of state to get things here.I will never forget that experience and am thankful I was a small part in helping so many in their time of need. I want to thank you all for helping sounselfishly

May God Bless YouAlI.
